There are quite a few different theories as to how Bryn became so called. But nobody actually knows, so they are just that, theories: one person's conjecture.
Personally, I favour the notion that it is the name taken from Peter de Brindle when his offspring Joan married into the Gerrards, and brought with her the Brindle estates. There is at least SOME evidence concerning this, but I willingly concede that it is FAR from conclusive!
Also, the question then continues concerning derivation of the name 'Peter de Brindle', and the place name Brindle evokes the same avenues of conjecture as pertain to Brynn!
